Not much progress on the build, but spending some time on the design.
I've changed some parts in the design to make it stronger. Custom speaker box is finished and I'm trying to figure out a way for the upper hull to sit correctly on the bottom hull (using some extra brackets) and I want to do a kind of quick release. I designed one for my M4A1 a couple of days ago but that hull is completely different so no use for the firefly unfortunately.

Also need to rethink the track tensioning system. It now works as the full size one but it's too weak unfortunately.

After the first test run of my M4A1E8, the idler mounting system seems to work well, so this will be implemented in the Firefly as well.
There are a few things that bother me on the design of the Firefly, for instance the front hatches and their cast housings just don't look right.

I got some drawings of the M4A4 and together with lots of pictures I remade the hatches and their housings. Way more accurate so very happy with them

left is the old one, right is the redesigned item.
